I'm Marcus, the owner-operator behind Amped Up Electrical Adelaide, working the streets between Payneham and Magill.
My Vale Park base sits just up Payneham Road, so getting to St Morris rarely takes long — no fighting peak-hour traffic across the city, just a straight run down one road.
St Morris itself is tiny: a handful of streets of brick veneer homes built through the 1950s and '60s, most on a single block with a carport tacked on the side rather than a rear extension out the back. The boards inside are the giveaway of the era — rewireable ceramic fuses, no safety switch, and often nothing touched since the carport went up. Outdoor and carport lighting comes up constantly too, since most of these were only ever wired for a single bulb.
I price the job on what I actually find, not a guess from the street, and I'm the one holding the tools the whole way through.
Given the age and size of most St Morris houses, this is the mix I see most:
I haven't written up a St Morris job yet, but a few streets over it's a different story. In August, on Coorara Avenue in Payneham, I fitted six outdoor LED wall lights around a home — IP54-rated for the weather, run back to the board on their own circuit and tested before I left. It's the kind of straightforward exterior lighting upgrade that suits this style of brick home well.
Over in Magill on Barnes Avenue, I was called out to a power-points circuit that kept tripping the breaker. After isolating and testing the switchboard, the RCBO and the circuit itself — insulation resistance, earth continuity, loop impedance, RCD trip time and a load test — everything came back safe and the circuit was returned to service the same visit. That's the sort of fault-finding job I'd expect to see plenty of on St Morris's original wiring too.
Every installation is owner-operated by Marcus. Clean work, quality components, compliant installations.
Marcus films real jobs and callouts on the tools — no actors, no stock footage. This is what the work actually looks like.
I personally handle every job from quote to completion. Licensed electrician on every job — never handed off. When you call, you speak to me. When I arrive in St Morris, it's me doing the work.

A St Morris carport wired for one bulb and nothing else is a common sign of a board that's never been touched since the house was built — and boards like that are exactly where an old fault goes unnoticed the longest. If the power's out, a safety switch won't reset, or something smells hot, that's an emergency call — not a wait-till-Monday job.

It's the norm around here rather than the exception — most of St Morris was built with a rewireable fuse board and nothing done to it since. The fuses themselves aren't dangerous by design, but the missing safety switch is the real gap, and I'll always point it out and quote an RCBO upgrade so you can decide.
Yes — smoke alarms, safety switch testing and a written report, the usual package an agent asks for on a St Morris rental.
Yes, though a lot of these carports sit further from the switchboard than a garage would, so the cable run is usually what decides the quote rather than the charger itself.
Definitely — it's one road down from my own base, so it's an easy suburb for me to fit in.

No obligation, no pressure.
Thanks! Marcus will follow up with you shortly.
